Why This Matters

Case in point: upgrading abilities. Pokopia showers you with a handful of important abilities during its tutorial, and then doles out some more over the course of its story, but what it doesn’t make clear up front is that you can upgrade those abilities to make them much more useful. At first, you can punch through most types of materials to clear them out and collect what’s inside of them, but you’ll also encounter some harder or bigger types of rocks that can’t be smashed.
